One rude employee and a “Taco Bell” joke cost them a Jaguar customer in under 30 seconds
This was the very first shop I tried after buying my 2004 Jaguar XJ8 Vanden Plas. Guy on the phone was cool, made an appointment, dropped the car off, left it for hours. Came back hoping for a normal update.Instead, while I’m standing there one of the employees goes, “This isn’t a waiting area, what do you think this is, Taco Bell?” The polite guy said they’d need it a few days. Then the Taco Bell line sank in. I stopped, pointed at the rude one, said “Yeah, but he was just rude for no reason,” grabbed my keys, and walked. He started back-pedaling as I left. Struggled for a while to find a good shop. Maybe thats why he thought he could get away with being rude, being behind a desk and knowing not many people will fix these cars. Eventually I found another shop (Recommended by the Jag dealer)
One employee’s mouth cost this shop a lifelong British-car customer before they even turned a wrench. Hope the joke was worth it.

Amazing staff and mechanics and the prices are unbeatable. Always friendly, which is important if you have an older Jag that like to stop by to say hi and get a repair often.

I honestly wish I could write a great review for this place, but after reviewing the work and my experince, I honestly cant.
I brought my 1995 XJ12 here to have some rodent damage repaired. The work was fairly basic, but electrical is outside of my wheelhouse. After interviewing multiple Jaguar shops, I decided to go with Coventry due to their stellar reviews and experience with the Jaguar V12
However, upon paying my bill and picking up the car, I found a 2.5 ft long scratch in the trunk lid! Upon confronting the staff at Coventry, they immediately denied everything and said it showed up that way. However, upon reviewing my pictures of when the tow truck driver dropped off my car, no scratch was there. Some of it did polish out to be fair, but its still very noticeable. Additionally, I found a chip and white paint rub off on my passenger door that was not there prior to my leaving it with Coventry.
The work they did to repair the wiring on my cruise control actuator was sub-par and they claimed the ground strap was undamaged. Upon inspecting the work when I got my car home, the ground strap was chewed 80% of the way through. To be fair to Coventry though, the wiring repairs they made to the injection harness were very well done.
If you own an especially rare or nice condition Jaguar that you would like to keep nice, don't bring it here.
